With the advent of side channel attacks, he became a consultant for the NatWest bank to investigate and solve leakage from its Mondex purse, and has since made a number of contributions to improve the side channel resistance of cryptographic algorithms, such as those for modular multiplication and exponentiation. In early 2002 he took up the position of head of cryptography at the certificate authority Comodo and during his time with them he chaired one of the Trusted Computing Group's work groups. He returned to academia in 2009 when he joined the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London, to become its director of distance learning.
